Abstract

A unified container file can be selected using computer hardware. The unified container file can include a plurality of files embedded therein used to configure a programmable integrated circuit (IC). The plurality of files can include a first partial configuration bitstream and a second partial configuration bitstream. The unified container file also includes metadata specifying a defined relationship between the first partial configuration bitstream and the second partial configuration bitstream for programming the programmable IC. The defined relationship can be determined using computer hardware by reading the metadata from the unified container file. The programmable IC can be configured, using the computer hardware, based on the defined relationship specified by the metadata using the first partial configuration bitstream and the second partial configuration bitstream.
